Being adaptable to the food and beverage industry is essential. McCain Foods strives to keep up with their customers by improving their products, making changes in policies or procedures inevitable. This means policies can change quickly and you will be expected to adapt. The interviewer wants to hear how you will respond when you disagree with the way something is handled or executed.

"I would first talk with my manager to make sure I understood the expectation correctly. It could be that I was interpreting it wrong or that there was some miscommunication. If I still had an issue, I would take some time to think about how I can deal with it. I've learned to pick my battles and to be adaptable as much as I can."

"I know well enough at this point in my career that policies and procedures are in place for a reason. If I truly don't understand the reasoning behind the policy, I will ask for further clarification in a respectful and open-minded way."

I would first like to get a solution to the existing policy issue and then reach out to the concerned manager for policy changes. I will try to explain the situation why we have to change certain policies/procedures and then let the management take the necessary decision.

This is great - it seems that you are very thoughtful in your approach. If you have encountered a situation like this in the past, consider providing a story-based example. You can form your example using the STAR framework (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
